Everything was reviewed and approved by proper Church authorities which in and of itself makes sure it's not "his private interpretation".

This sounds like a global warming paper being reviewed by global warming scientists.

You say that "proper church authorities" were used ... who determined those authorities were the authorities?

When it comes right down to it ... someones interpretation was inspected by a bunch of other exegetes, and those exegetes conferred their blessing on the interpretation ... or they witheld their blessing.

Protestants do the same thing every day ... except we have the added difficulty that our interpretations are inspected by exegetes that we already know will not agree with us ... so our exegesis has to be better and more complete.

Only someone incredibly insecure with their own Self and Self Alone narcissistic approach to understanding Scripture would think of making such a foolish and transparently absurd comparison.

Insecurity and uncertainty are typical of the crowd who start here:

then pretend to be shocked when their fellow Self Alone narcissists end up here

Exactly! Much like the common RC myth that "they" only chose books to be included in the Bible that agreed with established church theology, making them the arbiters of what IS God-breathed sacred Scripture and not God, Himself, who establishes His word forever. The delusion is strong.
